Celestial Anomalies

The Celestial Anomalies were three groups of unusual oddities in the Galaxy that existed during the time of the Galactic Republic and after. The anomalies existed due to the actions of the Celestials, an ancient species that had begun exploring the Galaxy billions of years before any other civilization.

The anomalies were the Biochemical Anomaly (the fact that thousands of far flung planets in the Galaxy developed life from the same biochemical system), the Species Placement Anomaly (the fact that unique, individual species that had evolved on single planets over millions of years were found scattered on far flung worlds long before any natives of the home planet developed space travel) and the Astrographical Anomaly (the existence of numerous odd star systems, star clusters and hyperspace phenomena such as the Maw Cluster, Corellian System and Hyperspace Tangle, all of which had been created by the Celestials).

The Celestials also left behind large amounts of bizarre and often immensely powerful technology such as the Centerpoint Station, Sinkhole Station, Eliminator and various types of machinery inside Kessel. However, such a legacy was not unique to the Celestials, as the Kwa, Sharu, Columi, Gree, Killiks and Rakata also left behind ancient and powerful technology.
